Competition news

Yorkshire Matchplay

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday the best amateurs in Yorkshire competed for Yorkshire matchplay champion. The venue was York Golf Club and as you would expect we had a few representatives playing. This included Charlie Thornton, James Cass, Tom Kelly and George Robson.

On Thursday, it was the first round. The Fulford lads who made it through were George Robson, Charlie Thornton and James Cass. Then Friday came, and two rounds were played. Unfortunately, George got knocked out of the second round but Charlie and James both advanced. They then faced each other in the quarter-final with James claiming victory over Charlie. That meant James advanced to the final day. In the morning, he played his semi-final match which he managed to win 1up. Then the final. He was up against in-form player Maxwell Berrisford. The match went all the way to the last hole where James unfortunately lost one down. However, it was a great effort and good few days of golf from James, well done from all of us in the pro shop.

Monthly Medal

On Saturday we had our September Monthly Medal, despite the rain we had a great turn out of competitors. The eventual winner with a great score of 68 was Robert Hutton, just ahead of Matthew Roberts with a 69. In the Yellow Tee Stableford, Rhys Harrison came out on top with 40 points. Great playing guys in some very tough and wet conditions.

Midweek Medal

On Wednesday we held the Midweek Medal alongside the Yellow Tee Stableford. The winner in the Medal was Graeme Wood with a fantastic score of 64, his handicap will be getting a chop. Followed by Michael Simpson with a 67. In the Yellow Tee Stableford, George Baines reigned supreme with a score of 44 points followed closely by Brain Scott with 42 points. Well played to everyone.

Try a Garmin GPS for FREE

Golf's a game where you need to utilise all the help you're given. One specific way that has seen a huge boom in recent years is the use of GPS devices, which are particularly useful when it comes to knowing distances to the front, middle and back of greens, as well as hazards and doglegs. Throughout September, we're giving you the chance to 'Try Before you Buy' on selected Garmin devices, including the Approach S20 watch. What do you have to lose?

In your sight

Sightlines on putters might seem like a nice design, but they are there for a reason as they help you aim your putts more accurately, and help you centre the ball on your putter. But with so many different styles, it can be hard to know which one will aid you the most.

It’s up to you
Odyssey’s Red Ball putter features some of the most sophisticated alignment technology on the market.

The innovative Red Ball in the scope of the putter allows you to consistently get into the correct set-up position over the ball. Add Odyssey's Versa high contrast technology that helps you align the putter better, and this putter is going to be very helpful for a lot of golfers.

Something different
Alternatively, you might be a fan of Odyssey's O-Works Marxman Red putter, which is also available in a black finish.

If you have alignment issues with your putting then this model has been designed specifically for golfers like you, with a full-length alignment aid extending right to the back edge of the putter for improved performance.

Having a ball

When you’re watching the pros you’ll often see them hitting shots with amazing distance off the tee, along with plenty of spin from around the green. The way they strike the ball helps achieve this, but the ball itself is a crucial component of their game.

New: 2018 Srixon Soft Feel

Here are two great options worth trying for a round or two. The new Srixon Soft Feel has been designed for players wanting to hit the ball further with more control, but without paying a premium price tag.

New: 2018 Srixon UltiSoft

The updated UltiSoft ball combines soft feel and extreme distance at an affordable price. It's ideal for players with mid-to-low swing speeds, who are seeking great feel around the greens, a higher launch and maximum distance off the tee.
